WEST AND SOUTH IH GRIP OF FLOOD

Thousands of Acres of Growing Crops Under Water In Louisiana. -

FLOODS ARE DANGEROUS.

HUNDREDS OF LIVES THREATENED AND PROPERTY LOSSES RUN HIGH KANSAS CITY ONE DF MANY SUFFERERS.

THE CITY IN BRIEF

Nw Orleans, La., June 11. Twenty-four thousand acres of growing crops were submerged and much stock was drowned by the breaking of Red River through the levee at Westdale. I,a., about 40 miles southwest of Shreveport. The situation at Willow Chute, on the Bossier Parish side of the river, north of Shreveport, is very serious and hundreds of men and teams have been engaged there since Saturday in an effort to prevent a break. The original levee was cut by the Government engineer and the water allowed to run into a space protected by a run around temporary structure. This temporary leveo has also begun to cave. Red River has reached a stage of 33.4 feet and is rising slowly. Heavy rains yesterday afternoon and another today have softened the levees all along the line. Train service on the Texargana branch of the Texas and Pacific railroad has been abandoned.

RISE OF THE MISSOURI

Floods Many Towns and Kansas City Suffers Most. Kansas City, June 11. All calculations of the weather bureau and river experts as to the duration and extent of the flood at the junction of the Kaw and Missouri rivers have been upset by the continued rise of the Missouri. The little village, of Harlem was entirely surrounded by water flowing a mile wide behind the village over a corn field. The water is running through Kansas avenue, the main street of Armourdale. The flood is the highest since 1903. Hundreds of Hvps are endangered throughout the flood districts. The flooding of the Stock Yards and the cutting off of railroad communication almost, suspended the cattle market yesterday. The Live Stx-k Exchange bunding can still be entered, but the basement is flooded. Eight railroad lines out. of Kansas City are now tied up. The lines tied up are the Union Pacific, Santa Fe and Rock Island West and the tturUngton, Missouri Pacific, North, Burlington, Rock Island and Wabash to the East. The Missouri at Leavenworth is rising rapidly. Already it has spread over the bottoms and in Platte county across from Leavenworth heavy damage has been done to farms. Owing to a break in a gas main nearly all residents in two thirds of the city are without gas.

Will Ask That Amendment Be Made to Depository Measure.

FOR STATE INSURANCE.

MEASURE TO PUT INDIANA BACK OF ALL DEPOSITS IS FAVORED ANNUAL MEETING OF BANKERS IN NOVEMBER.

Indianapolis, June 11. The annual meeting of the Indiana Rankers' association will be held here November 11 and 12. The program will include a general discussion of the public depository law enacted by the last legislature. The bankers say thoy are compelled to give bond and pay interest on deposits that are checked out soon after the first of each month and on which there is practically no profit. They want the law amended. Another important matter to be discussed will be a plan of state insurance for bank deposits. It is said that many bankers are considering the subject and are in favor of tb enactment of a law by which the state can insure deposits. Andrew Smith, secretary of the association, expressed the opinion that such a law is coming in Indiana. The total membership now is 597, a gain of OS during last year. The following committee on arrangements for the convention was appointed. A. G. Lupton, H. C. Johnson, J. Monyhan and James Mclntosch. The program committee includes H. C. Johnson, James W. Sale, Andrew Smith, C. II. Worden and I. II. C. Royse.

Takes Exceptions to Commodity Clause in Hepburn Law.

SAYS MEASURE IS VOID.

POINTS OUT THAT THE BILL IS CLASS LEGISLATION AND PENALTIES IMPOSED IN CONTROVENTION OF CONSTITUTION.

Philadelphia, June 11. The answer of the Pennsylvania to the bills in

equity filed by the government against the coal-carrying railroads to enforce j

the commodity clause of the Hepburn act has been filed in the I'ntted States courts here. Under this clause railroads are enjoined from transporting coal mined by them or in the production of which they have an interest. The answer of the Pennsylvania says the law is void for the following reasons: "That it does not undertake the transportation in interstate commerce of anthracite coal produced from the mines of the several coal companies mentioned in the suit, but on the contrary undertakes to absolutely prohibit transportation thereof, and is therefore not a regulation of inter state commerce, and consequently is not within the scope of the commerce clause of the constitution. "That the effect of said clause will -onstitute a taking of the defendant's property, corporate rights and franchises without due process of law and

without compensation, and in its result this defendant will be denied the equal protection of the laws.

"That said clause ia class legislation ' unduly and unjustly discriminative in j its results. ; "That the penalties imposed by the ' statute are of such magnitude, in eon- ' trovention of the eighth amendment ;

to the constitution of the United States." The Pennsylvania answer also contains the following paragraph: "In the year 1107 more than CS.oOO,gross tons of anthracite coal were mined in Pennsylvania, and approximately 4."..ki,mw tons were transport

ed and consumed at points outside of

Pennsylvania. Anthracite coal has thus become a very considerable increment in interstate commerce, highly essential to the public welfare, and

any interference or interruption of the

movement of such coal to points outside the state would be a serious inconvenience and detriment to a large portion of the inhabirants of the states to which anthracite coal is now transported.

Hagerstown Town Council Is Now Up Against a New Proposition.

Hagerstown, Ind., June 11. By closing through the medium of a remon

strance, three saloons in this place, the town council has been put face to face with a proposition that is somewhat baffling in its details. The saloons paid an annual revenue of $50 into the town treasury for their licenses. The loss of this amount each year is an item of importance to a town the size of Hagerstown. In order to offset the loss it has been proposed to extend the corporate limits as far south
